Jim has a ball. 38:33 yes This week, it's all about guitars and wizards BAY-BEE! We take a quiz to determine whether or not we are special wizard boys and then get into our attractions. First up, Scottye invites guests down the river on Robert Johnson's Bayou Cruise, a boat ride that makes Trader Sam look like a f'n chump with no sense of danger. Then, Jim heads deep into the Wasteland of JimCity to bring forth the 1970s as guests dive into Pinball Wizard, a trackless musical bit of a mayhem (mostly) in the dark. As it turns out, Jim does not have anything resembling a supple wrist. disney, disney world, universal studios, design, imagineering, engineering, architecture, animal kingdom, harry potter, the who, robert johnson, POTC, music, jazz, pinball This week, it's all about guitars and wizards BAY-BEE!

]]> Challenge: Motion Simulator http://www.opposite-attractions.com/11 0c30e3b8-06ee-4a28-a488-eef6cdb5b155 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 02:00:00 -0500 Jim Murphy & Scottye Moore full 1 Jim Murphy & Scottye Moore Scottye and Jim discuss the life and death of DisneyQuest for far too long, then ramble a bit about their superhero motion simulators. Pardon the slightly messy audio quality. Jim apologizes profusely. 32:48 yes This week, DisneyQuest is officially a flat plane of land. Your hosts discuss their various visits to the indoor "amusement park" and then answer the challenge of the motion simulator Jim put up last week. Scottye spends most of his time running into a wall with a monkey, while Jim tries, and fails quickly, to create a potential new cartoon franchise for the park. Audio quality took a slight hit, once again due to Jim's shortcomings and scheduling conflicts. He's still a beast on Mighty Ducks Pinball Slam, may it rest in peace.
